The draft TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification and associated draft TAE units of competency had been released. The TAELLN421 Integrate core skills support into training and assessment unit of competency is no longer a core unit

About this article

This article focuses on the TAELLN421 Integrate core skills support into training and assessment unit of competency.

This unit has four elements:

Identify core skill demands
Identify learner and candidate core skill needs
Integrate core skill support
Review effectiveness of integrated core skill support.

I have unpacked the elements, performance criteria and performance evidence to create the following 4-part process that gives greater clarity to the TAE Student about what they need to do.

Assessment requirements for the TAELLN421 unit

Knowledge evidence

An assessment task will be required to gather the specified Knowledge Evidence. A TAE Student must demonstrate they have the following knowledge:

Core skill levels of the Australian adult population, and of VET learners
Australian Core Skills Framework and Digital Literacy Skills Framework
Impact of core skills on a person’s capability to participate in work and in training and assessment, and the implications for design and delivery of vocational training and assessment
Overview of core skill demands in the workplace that relate to the nationally recognised training products
VET regulatory requirements relating to integrating core skills support into training and assessment
RTO procedures relating to integrating core skills support into training and assessment
Benefits of integrating vocational and core skill training for all individuals
How to identify core skills in nationally recognised training products, workplace tasks and texts, etc.
Responsibilities and limitations of own job and practice in relation to providing core skills support in training and assessment.

Performance evidence

The Performance Evidence for the TAELLN421 Integrate core skills support into training and assessment unit of competency is reasonably complex. This complexity may mean that the assessment task or tasks will be complex.
